I voted man and machine, the reasons are on the other topic Briefly, I dont think a 64bit sys is a must rigth now, but if it will be developed, I will try to help.I do have a 64bit box, and you guys can use it. My knowledge about developing is poor, so my commitment is for testing.Something to think about is, VL will need more people not just for developing, support, testing, packaging, they are in the list too. A special section in the forum, repo maintainers, ..., ...

Aside from the fact that I don't have any Intel-compatible 64bit hardware, the time I'm able to spend on "regular" VL is already somewhat limited at times. Maybe when I start college in a few months time I could high-jack one of their machines for this, but right now I've voted for the fourth option.

Universidade de Évora, right? Could you keep me posted about their Linux activities, please? Since I'm away from Portugal, it's good to know what's going on in there.What degree are you going to take?

Yep, thats where I'll be studying. I'll be doing Computer Science (Engenharia Informática), and thanks to the Bolonha treaty, I can have a Masters in five years The university has just released Alinex 2.0Beta2, BTW. I'm "wget'ing " a copy right now to try it out, and hope its better than the previous release (which was somewhat flaky and quite out-of-date).

I voted "other" because I don't have a 64-bit machine. I do plan on buying one by the end of the year and then, yes, I'd volunteer as much as time permits. I do believe a 64-bit version is critical if VL is to be taken seriously in the future.

I realize I'm not an active member of this forum, but I come here and read, and I do use VL.I'm willing to help with the testing of a 64 bit VL. I can make room to install on my main box. I've not enough knowledge to actually write anything, but given time, I can probably learn to compile and test. Due to my work schedule and my wife's health issues, I may not be able to consistently contribute, but I'll do what I can to help.Of course, this all hinges on whether you [all] decide to do a 64 bit VL.Bill
